What it is
Chocolate drops, also known as chocolate chips, are small pieces of sweetened chocolate. They are typically made from cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, and an emulsifier like soy lecithin. Chocolate drops are formed by extruding molten chocolate through a die or by cutting sheets of chocolate.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add chocolate drops to provide a chocolate flavor and texture. They are commonly found in baked goods like cookies, cakes, and muffins, and are also used in snack mixes, ice cream, and as a topping for desserts.
Health notes
Chocolate drops are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The main ingredients, cocoa and sugar, have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA. Cocoa contains flavonoids, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties. However, chocolate drops also contain sugar and fat, and excessive consumption can contribute to calorie intake.
Allergen info
Chocolate drops may contain soy if soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Some chocolate drops may also be manufactured in facilities that process milk, tree nuts, or peanuts, leading to potential cross-contamination.
